FIRE SAFETY WEEK!

We will study fire safety this week, and on Friday 10-16-09 we will have a special demonstration by the Clay County Volunteer Fire Department! YEAH!

So with that said take this opportunity to talk to your family about fire safety and set a special place outside your house where everyone is to meet that is far enough away to be safe and away from the fire. Also have a special password that only everyone in your family will know so that if they are lost or in a fire or if someone they know tries to get them to go with them they can say what is the special family password and if they do not know it then they are NOT to go! Also make sure that you have a way for everyone to escape out the house incase of fire. If you live in a two story home make sure you have drop down ladders by the main windows up stairs so that everyone can get out if they are on the 2nd story. Make sure everyone in your home knows everyones name, their address, their phone numbers, and how/when to dial 911. And last but not least make sure that you have installed smoke detectors and that they are all in working order! If you do not have any or do not know how to check them feel free to call the fire department closes to you and they will come out and show you what you need to do/know.

All of these things are VERY IMPORTANT! Please talk to everyone in your home and remeber to always practice fire safety!
